About this map

Morrisey anchors this corner of Weston County, where high plains drain into a network of intermittent watercourses. The landscape is defined by the branching paths of Alkali Cr and its tributaries, including Robbers Roost Cr and the southern Whitney Draw. Settlement is sparse, represented by isolated landmarks like the Shaw Ranch, reflecting a ranching economy that has long dominated this portion of eastern Wyoming.

Transportation through this drainage-cut terrain follows established paths such as Cheyenne River Rd and Roxson Rd, which traverse the open range between Coyote Cr and Sheep Cr. The survey illustrates the intersection of these essential rural roads with the natural topography of the Wyoming basin, offering a clear view of land use and water access in a region where every creek and draw provides a vital reference point for navigation and livestock management.
